BROOKLYN — Four men tied up two workers at an East New York clothing store and held them at gunpoint before running off with $16,000 worth of clothes, police said.

One of the men drove up to Urban Sole and Denim Bar at 3052 Fulton St., near Shepherd Avenue, about 3 p.m. and dropped off three others who then walked into the shop, NYPD officials said.

Inside, one of them, dressed in a red T-shirt with a matching baseball cap and sneakers, drew a gun, police said.

The two other men, one in a blue T-shirt with a white shirt tucked into a Yankee cap and the other in all black clothes, then tied up the two people working in the shop, police said.

Video shows the trio then leaving the store carrying large black bags filled with what police said is $16,000 worth of clothing.

Police said the driver wore a white T-shirt and had cornrows.
